Leeza Gibbons
Every time Hollywood thinks they've figured her out, she cleverly moves another step up the ladder and successfully places another title among her many achievements. It's Leeza Gibbons' passion and drive combined with her warmth and wisdom that has enabled her to become one of the most respected and recognized professionals in the broadcast industry.From television news journalist and host, to radio personality, producer and businesswoman, Gibbons has been entering America's living rooms for over 20 years. She was recently named the host of Lifetime's successful primetime magazine, "What Should You Do?", a dramatic reality series offering empowering, life-saving information about moments of crisis. This is just another outlet for Gibbons' brand of offering programs and products that enhance the lives of women and their families.It was a need to serve her own family that prompted Gibbons to leave her daily post as managing editor and host of the newsmagazine "Extra" in order to form the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation (a 501c3, non-profit) - her most personal endeavor to date.
Satirical Newscast, Kosher Style
Over footage of burning buildings, Israel Defense Forces troops and the Israeli prime minister, the straight-faced anchorman intones: “Great news out of Israel: Ehud Olmert has announced that the second Lebanon war was a success…. Another of Olmert's notable successes is his attempt to comb over his bald spot." Yes, it's a satirical newscast, but not “The Daily Show"; nor is it “Weekend Update" from “Saturday Night Live." On “The Mendy Report," news is delivered by a long-bearded Hasid wearing a velvet yarmulke at a rakish tilt. Mendy Pellin, a 25-year-old Lubavitch comedian and ordained rabbi, launched his online newscast and Web channel, ChabadTube.com, in November 2006. Since then, he's built an international audience. Segments posted by fans on blogs and on video sites like YouTube and Google have drawn more than 500,000 views.

BOLTON Wanderers are banking on new boss Gary Megson delivering results that will lift them clear of the relegation zone and ease growing concerns over a dramatic drop in attendances. Crowd figures at the Reebok have slumped to a record low as the Whites have struggled at the wrong end of the Premiership. And, while they are considering a range of incentives to boost gates, they don't expect any significant improvement until the team starts climbing the table. "The stark reality is that the club is struggling on the pitch," commercial director, Gareth Moores, said. .
